KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Mohd Shukri Abdull’s public outburst that he was threatened and harassed in the course of investigating the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) case might well jeopardise the current investigation into the issue. “Shukri Abdull ought to know better than to publicly claim that he was threatened and harassed as a result of investigating the 1MDB scandal in 2015. Bukit Gelugor Member of Parliament Ramkarpal Singh also urged Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali to resign voluntarily. Shukri, together with former Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, are co-chairing a special team set up to probe the 1MDB issue. Ramkarpal said the revelation was in stark contrast with the US Department of Justice’s (DOJ) claim that the said sum was diverted from 1MDB.
